Atlanta – At the AmericasMart here, two exhibitors -- Amadi Carpets Inc. and The Creative Touch Inc. – are each set to expand and relocate their respective showrooms this summer in time for the upcoming Atlanta International Area Rug market in mid July.

The Creative Touch is moving to the 3,000-sqaur-foot space in 5-F-2 – former home of Asia Minor rugs.

And Amadi Carpets is relocating to 5-D-7, a 4,000-square-foot showroom.

These moves “further accelerate the development of AmericasMart’s Area Rug product center,” the mart noted in a release. 

“With the expansion and relocation of our showroom, we will be better positioned to showcase our unique antique recreations to our customers,” says Baki Ildiz of The Creative Touch Inc., a rug house that specializes in recreations of antique Turkish rugs and which is also expanding is offerings of eco-friendly natural fiber and safe-dye soft floor coverings.

Amadi’s high-end Afghani carpets are hand-knotted, may of them customer rugs.

Said  Zubair Ahmadi, co-owner of Amadi Carpets: “With the current economic situation, we must stay strong and support each other, which AmericasMart has always done. That is why we continue to be a part of their show, and have expanded into a larger showroom for July.”

AmericasMart will celebrate the grand openings of both expanded showrooms with ribbon cutting ceremonies during the rug market, which is scheduled July 8 to 15.
